This analysis of U.S.-based survey data reports regional differences (Northeast, Midwest, South, and West) in sweetener knowledge, consumption, and body mass index (BMI) among 877 people with HIV (PLWH; median age 54 years). BMI was lowest in the West and highest in the Midwest. Respondents in the West reported greater sweetener knowledge than in the Northeast, Midwest, and South. Respondents from the West reported lower sweetener consumption than the Midwest and South. Regional differences in BMI, sweetener knowledge, and consumption were demonstrated. Findings support consideration of regional differences when providing nutrition education.
这项基于美国调查数据的分析报告了877名艾滋病毒感染者(PLWH;中位年龄54岁)在甜味剂知识、消费和体重指数(BMI)方面的地区差异(东北部、中西部、南部和西部)。BMI在西部最低,在中西部最高。西部的受访者报告称,他们对甜味剂的了解程度高于东北部、中西部和南部。来自西部的受访者报告的甜味剂消费量低于中西部和南部。研究证明了BMI、甜味剂知识和消费方面的地区差异。研究结果支持在提供营养教育时考虑地区差异。
